SHOP AT SMITH'S 4' current issue devotes its two center pages, always reserved for the most sig- nificant event of the preceding twelve months, to a diagrammatic study en- titled "La Conquête du Plus Haut Som- met du Monde," which shows exactly what the Swiss and British expeditions accomplished. F or generations, the M essager Boiteux has had the same cov- er design-a woodcut of a lame mes- senger bringing news to a group of Swiss, comprising a solid citIzen, a cler- gyman, a soldier, and a child, and the whole surrounded by symbols, such as a snail, representing the domestic hearth, that are greatly appreciated In Switzer- land. The Almanach Pestalozzi, named after the founder of the present system of public education, is an almanac put out specially for children. The A l- manach P estalozzi for 1954 not only records the conquest of Mount Everest but includes, in addition to e"says on how to read a thermometer, how to sew (for girls), and how to build a birdhouse (for boys), a long, illustrated essay on the joys and benefits of Alpinism (for boys and girls). The best-sellIng book in Switzerland at the moment is "Avant-Premières à l'Everest," by Gabriel Chevalley, Rene Dittert, and Raymond Lambert, three of the Swiss who participated in one or the other of the two expeditions that came near reaching the top of Mount Everest. Published by Arthaud, in Paris and Grenoble, it sold thirty-four thou- sand copies in its first three weeks. The subject is the Swiss journeys to India and Nepal and treks through the jun- gles to the base of the mountain, and the labor and pain involved in the at- tempts to attain the summit-attempts that were frustrated by glaciers and monsoons Somehow, the book de- scribes the failures without making them sound like failures. Swiss mountain climbers are particularly proud of the tributes that the British conquerors of Moun t Everest paid the Swiss expedi- tions. A paper band around the dust jacket of the Chevalley-Dittert-Lam- bert book quotes Sir John Hunt, leader of the British expedition, as saying, "A vous autres, une bonne moitié de la gloire." The latest issue of a Swiss Al- pine journal (its name appears on its cover in all four Swiss languages-Die Alpen, Les Alpes, Le Alpi, and Las A Ips-and its contributors write in whichever of the four they please) car- ries an article by Hunt and a colleague, in which they thank the Swiss for mak- ing information accumulated during the two unsuccessful trIes available to them.
